South Africans exasperated by Trump's false claims of 'white genocide'

President Cyril Ramaphosa visited Washington this week to meet President Donald Trump amid strained US-South Africa relations.
The visit followed months of tension caused by Trump's unfounded claims of white genocide and the ANC's weakened political position in a coalition government.
Ramaphosa sought increased US investment to address high unemployment and crime, but trade talks were overshadowed by Trump's public confrontation using discredited accusations.
Ramaphosa remained calm throughout the meeting despite facing criticism for his measured reaction to Trump's allegations, while experts highlighted his adeptness in handling tense diplomatic encounters.
The encounter underscored South Africa's internal political challenges and risks to the Agoa trade deal, potentially empowering opposition groups critical of Ramaphosa's government.
